Vulnerability of Brazilian municipalities to hantavirus infections based on multi-criteria decision analysis. [PDF]
Emerg Themes Epidemiol, 2015 BackgroundHantavirus infection is an emerging zoonosis transmitted by wild rodents. In Brazil, high case-fatality rates among humans infected with hantavirus are of serious concern to public health authorities.

Uirusu, 1996 Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) are rodent borne viral zoonosis caused by hantavirus infection. HFRS and HPS cause epidemic in Eurasia continent and North and South American continent, respectively. Various species of wild rodents play as a reservoir animal in nature.

The hanta hunting study: underdiagnosis of Puumala hantavirus infections in symptomatic non-travelling leptospirosis-suspected patients in the Netherlands, in 2010 and April to November 2011. [PDF]
Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2014 Leptospirosis and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) are hard to distinguish clinically since these two important rodent-borne zoonoses share hallmark symptoms such as renal failure and haemorrhage.

Puumala hantavirus infections in bank vole populations: host and virus dynamics in Central Europe. [PDF]
BMC Ecol, 2017 BackgroundIn Europe, bank voles (Myodes glareolus) are widely distributed and can transmit Puumala virus (PUUV) to humans, which causes a mild to moderate form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, called nephropathia epidemica.

Acute Sin Nombre Hantavirus Infection without Pulmonary Syndrome, United States [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) occurs in most infections with Sin Nombre virus and other North American hantaviruses. We report five cases of acute hantavirus infection that did not fit the HPS case definition.

Unraveling the Mechanistic Links Between Species Diversity and Infection Risk From Zoonotic Pathogens With Direct Transmission Among Reservoir Hosts: Rodent-Orthohantavirus Systems as Models. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this review, we synthesize mechanistic evidence for diversity‐disease patterns in rodent‐orthohantavirus systems in the Americas, models of directly transmitted disease systems. We found that host regulation has been examined the most while other mechanisms have received less attention. Based on our findings, we propose that for a negative diversity‐

Effect of Land-Use on Hantavirus Infection Among Introduced and Endemic Small Mammals of Madagascar. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAddressing the risk of Hantavirus spillover from animal reservoirs to humans requires identifying the local reservoirs and the predictors of infection. We screened a collection of 1880 small mammals for Hantavirus RNA from northeastern Madagascar, and specifically investigated the influence of diverse natural or anthropized habitats as well as animal ...
